Yanmei was deeply troubled by Ru Dan's words and deeds, but her frail appearance showed awe-inspiring righteousness, and she was able to determine life and death at a young age. Since the princess admired Ru Dan very much, she naturally didn't want Ru Dan to die like this. If he ordered the arrest of these people, looking at Rudan's demeanor, he would definitely kill himself first. Yanmei hesitated again and again, unable to make a decision.
Yanmei thought for a while and ordered someone to find Xu Qiong. After a while, Xu Qiong was helped to come to the princess.
Yanmei glanced at Xu Qiong and asked, "Master Xu, is this girl really your granddaughter?"
Xu Qiong was stunned and said quickly: "I'm telling the princess, it's my granddaughter. She is young and ignorant, and she was mistrained by an old man. Please punish the princess for her humble position!"
Yanmei did not blame Xu Qiong, but asked: "In Master Xu's opinion, how should this matter be handled?"
Xu Qiong said: "Please let the princess temporarily let them go this time. In the future, I will definitely hunt them all down to atone for today's sin."
While she was talking, a fast horse galloped in front of Yanmei. An officer and soldier reported: "The Iron Sword Sect was attacked!" When Yanmei heard this, she thought to herself, what the hell, that's the group of gangsters over there.
Yanmei said to Xu Qiong, "I'll leave this matter to you." She then shouted to Liu Shui and others, "This time, for Miss Rudan's sake, I'll let you go. If you dare to hurt Miss Xu, you will be caught in the future." You will be punished severely. Miss Xu, please come to the Marquis Mansion as a guest when you have time." After saying that, she waved her hand and led the men and horses towards the Iron Sword Sect.
Rudan said to Xu Qiong again: "Please grandpa take the person back to the house." Xu Qiong had no choice but to take the person back.
Rudan breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the men and horses had retreated, and then he dropped the knife. She said to Liu Shui: "Now you can take revenge. Kill or behead him, it's up to you."
Everyone looked at Yang Fan and asked him to make a decision. Yang Fan said: "Girl, you have such a bodhisattva heart, how can we offend you? Please help yourself, girl, let's take our leave." After saying that, he turned around and ran away with everyone. Liu Shui had been standing far away from Ru Dan, not daring to speak, for fear that she would hear the sound, so he hurriedly left with everyone.
Rudan immediately returned to the house to help his grandfather check his injuries and start treatment. Rudan treated the injured one by one, busy in front of him and in the back. Xu Qiong was overjoyed to see her granddaughter return safely.
As soon as Liu Shui and others returned to Yang Mansion, Yang Xing said: "It was possible to deal with Thief Xu, but Mr. Liu was too soft-hearted and missed the opportunity."
Liu Shui said unhappily: "Young master Yang, you mean to deal with Miss Rudan at that time?"
Yang Xing was stunned and whispered: "You can just pull her away."
Fu Rong couldn't listen anymore and said: "How could you have so much time to think in the midst of the lightning flash? It's not like you didn't know my situation at that time."
Mudan also said: "If you hadn't made the sound, you would have succeeded in one fell swoop."
Yang Xing said anxiously: "So, it's my fault?"
Seeing that they were arguing, Hongying shouted: "You all should stop arguing. The matter is over, and we still want to think about what to do in the future!"
Yang Xing said: "We'd better act on our own from now on, so as not to miss another good opportunity."
Yang Xing was naturally dissatisfied when he saw that Hongying seemed to be particularly concerned about Liu Shui. Liu Shui heard the implication and did not continue to argue with him. He turned to Yang Fan and said, "I am responsible for this failure. Senior Yang, let's say goodbye."
Yang Fan said: "Xing'er is in a hurry, so you don't have to worry about it. It won't be too late for us to find opportunities in the future."
Hongying sent the three of them outside and said to Liu Shui: "My cousin has always been outspoken and outspoken. Please don't take it to heart."
Liu Shui said: "Miss Zhou, don't worry, I'm not a chicken-hearted person."
Hongying said coquettishly: "Brother Liu, you don't mean what you say. We agreed, we'll call you by name!"
Liu Shui said quickly: "It's my fault, sister Hongying, let's say goodbye now!" "Have a good trip, you three." Liu Shui bowed his hands and turned around to leave with Furong and Peony.
It was already late at night when the three of them returned to Li's Mansion. As soon as I entered the hall, I saw Li Yan and Li Feng waiting in the hall. Liu Shui quickly stepped forward and said, "Senior Li, Miss Feng, we are back."
Li Feng hurriedly asked: "What was the result of your trip?" Liu Shui briefly told them the story.
After hearing this, Li Yan sighed and said, "I didn't expect you to have such a connection with Xu Qiong's granddaughter. How could this old thief have such a good granddaughter? Let's put it aside now and talk about it later. I heard that the Iron Sword Sect was destroyed last night. You guys Be careful.”
"What? The Iron Sword Sect was destroyed? Who did it?" Liu Shui and others were shocked.
Li Yan said: "We have no clue at the moment. You have worked hard all night, so go and have a rest. We will discuss it tomorrow." Liu Shui and Li Feng agreed in unison.
Liu Shui returned to the room, and just as he lay down, he heard a gentle knock on the door. Liu Shui stood up in a hurry and opened the door, but it was Li Feng.
Liu Shui asked in surprise: "It's so late and you don't sleep. What's the matter?"
Li Feng whispered: "How about we go out for a walk? I guess there will be a lot of fun tonight."
Liu Shui asked puzzledly: "What's so exciting to see?" Li Feng said: "You just come with me, why bother asking so many questions!"
Liu Shui smiled slightly and said, "You should probably tell me what you think!"
Li Feng said: "Think about it, it was Tianxin Pavilion the night before, and the Iron Sword Sect last night, so whose turn will it be tonight?"
Liu Shui immediately understood what Li Feng meant and said, "Then it could be one of the Sishui Escort Agency, the Caravan, and the Magic Sword Sect. Which one is the most likely?"
"Then it's the Sishui Escort Agency, of course."
"Why are you so sure?"
"Just think about it. The Sanxiang Escort Agency was very supportive of Xiangmen that day. It was obvious that they had secretly united. The Sishui Escort Agency is the only competitor of the Sanxiang Escort Agency in Tanzhou. I guess the Sanxiang Escort Agency will definitely use the help of the Xiangmen Escort Agency. With the power of the sect, we will take the opportunity to get rid of the Sishui Escort Agency so that they can dominate Tanzhou."
Liu Shui nodded and said, "You are still smart, then let's go to the Sishui Escort Bureau."
Liu Shui and Li Feng immediately left the Li Mansion and walked towards the Sishui Escort Agency. When the two arrived near the Sishui Escort Agency, they heard shouts of fighting. They quickly jumped up to the roof of a nearby high house and looked intently at the escort agency.
I saw a group of men in black, their faces covered with black gauze, frantically chasing the people from the Sishui Escort Agency. Dozens of people from the Escort Agency were lying on the ground.
Shi Kai, the chief escort of Sishui Escort Bureau, was covered in blood and was fighting fiercely with the two men. A middle-aged man next to the chief escort was entangled with two other men in black. It seemed that the middle-aged man was Shi Feng, the son of the chief escort.
Liu Shui turned to Li Feng and said, "Miss Feng..." Before he could finish his words, Li Feng had already jumped up and landed in the courtyard of the escort agency.
Liu Shui shook his head secretly, thinking that Miss Feng was really impatient. Liu Shui had no choice but to fly down and land next to her.
As soon as Liu Shui and Liu Shui landed, two people slashed at them with knives. Liu Shui and Li Feng waved their swords to block it, then rushed towards one of them. The two men had average kung fu and were quickly defeated by Liu Shui and Li Feng.
Liu Shui glanced at him and said, "Miss Feng, I'm going to help the head escort, and you go and help that middle-aged man." Li Feng responded, thrusting his sword at the man who was besieging Shi Feng and stabbing him.
Liu Shui saw Mr. Shi's head shaking, and he seemed to be seriously injured. He hurriedly jumped over and swung his sword to block the knife that struck Mr. Shi's head. The other party has great kung fu and full strength. He is actually a master of the family. Liu Shui did not dare to neglect and used his sword skills with all his strength to deal with the opponent.
Those who besieged the Shi family and his son were all top-notch experts. If Liu Shui and his two men arrived later, it would be difficult for the Shi family and his son to persevere. As soon as Liu Shui and Li Feng joined the battle group, the situation suddenly changed.
Liu Shui and Li Feng entangled two masters respectively, and it was difficult to tell them apart for a while. Although the Shi family father and son are slightly at a disadvantage, they can still hold on.
While the two sides were fighting fiercely, the sound of horse hooves and the shouts of officers and soldiers came from the distance. The man who was fighting with the chief escort suddenly let out a scream and backed away. The other men in black heard the whistle and backed away.
The man shouted: "The wind is tight, it's pulling." He turned around and ran away with the group of men in black. These people came and went like the wind, acted in unison, and disappeared without a trace in a moment. It was obvious that they had been carefully trained.
After the powerful enemy retreated, Mr. Shi was relieved and fell to the ground. Shi Feng hurried over and asked, "Dad, how are you?"
Shi Kai shook his head and suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood. He was seriously injured. He had exhausted the last of his energy just now, and now he was at the end of his rope.
Shi Kai held on to his last bit of strength and said: "Feng'er, after I die, you take over the escort agency and you must keep the inheritance passed down by our ancestors." He took a breath and said to Liu Shui: "Thank you both..." Before he finished speaking, Shi Kai could no longer hold on and passed away. Shi Feng hugged his father and lost his voice in pain.
At this time, the government troops had surrounded the escort agency. Then four people walked in and stood on both sides. Three more people walked out from the middle. The person among them was Princess Yanmei. On the right was Zhang Dahu, and on the left was the maid Linglong.
Zhang Dahu shouted: "Is Mr. Shi here? Come and see the princess."
Liu Shui hurriedly helped Shi Feng and said to him: "Senior, please express your condolences and comply with the change." Shi Feng wiped away his tears and went to pay homage to the princess with Liu Shui and Li Feng.
The princess asked: "What's the situation here? Who attacked you?"
Shi Feng replied: "Let me tell you, Princess, the thieves have just left, my father died of serious injuries, and we have dozens of people killed or injured. They are all covered with black veils, and we really don't know where they came from. They asked for treasures as soon as they came. The common people are waiting. If you don’t give it, they will kill you.”
Yanmei said coldly: "Is it that simple? Don't hide it."
Although after Tianxin Pavilion and Iron Sword Sect were wiped out, all their treasures were looted, and it looked like they were seeking wealth and murder, Princess Yanmei believed that there must be something else going on.
Yanmei said to Zhang Dahu: "Order someone to check and see if they can find any clues." Zhang Dahu followed the order and turned to Liu Shui: "Why are you here?"
Liu Shui replied: "Tell the military master, we were passing by here and heard the sound of fighting, so we rushed over."
Zhang Erhu, who was standing behind, ran forward and said to Zhang Dahu: "Brother, this kid is the one who bullied us in Zuixian Tower last time."
Zhang Dahu shouted in a low voice: "Step back, you have no right to speak here." Then he shouted: "Come here, take these two suspects back for questioning."
Liu Shui naturally understood his intention and said, "Do you want to avenge your private life?"
Seeing this, Shi Feng hurriedly said: "Master Jun, they are not suspects. They are here to rescue us. If it weren't for them, we would have all been killed."
Princess Yanmei also shouted: "Stop. Zhang Dahu, what are you going to do?"
Zhang Dahu said: "Tell the princess that these two people have unknown origins and happened to appear here. I feel suspicious and want to take them back for questioning to prevent them from running away."
Princess Yanmei said coldly: "Humph, you are still a famous figure in the world, but you act so recklessly. Even if this man can run away, where can this girl run? You know, you can run away from a monk, but you can't run away from a temple!"
The princess was obviously one or two years younger than Li Feng, but she called Li Feng a girl. No wonder Li Feng was very disgusted with her.
"The princess knows her?" "If she runs away, just ask Deputy Commander Li to ask for her."
"Ah? She is the daughter of deputy commander Li Xing?" Zhang Dahu thought to himself that he had offended someone this time. This Li Xing was not easy to offend, and he couldn't help but blame Zhang Erhu in his heart.
Yanmei asked Shi Feng: "You said they saved you?" "It's true that we couldn't hold on under the siege of the men in black. It was they who appeared and blocked the attack of the men in black and we were able to stay here. More than twenty people died. If we had waited for you to arrive, we would have been dead long ago and would not be able to answer your questions."
Shi Feng was dissatisfied with Zhang Dahu's behavior and inevitably spoke sarcastically. Yanmei didn't care, and asked Liu Shuidao coldly: "What did you just say about public revenge and private revenge? Do you have any grudge against Captain Zhang?"
Liu Shui answered honestly: "I have no grudge against Mr. Zhang. But I disturbed his brother's good deeds, so he has a grudge against me."
"Then tell me what good things he has done." Liu Shui then explained the matter of Zuixian Tower in detail. The more Yanmei listened, the more livid her face became. After Liu Shui finished speaking, she called Zhang Erhu over and asked, "Is what he said the truth?"
At this time, Zhang Erhu could only fight to the death and refuse to admit it, and hesitantly denied it. But Yanmei watched her words and knew that what Liu Shui said was the truth.
Yanmei's face darkened and she shouted: "Linglong, destroy his martial arts and expel him from the guard." "Yes, princess." Linglong agreed and walked towards Zhang Erhu.
When Zhang Erhu heard that his martial arts was going to be abolished, he turned around and ran away. But Linglong jumped up and caught up with him. Linglong reached out and touched Zhang Erhu's Dantian key point, but Zhang Erhu punched to block it. But Linglong's fingers were as fast as the wind, and with one finger, Zhang Erhu was paralyzed to the ground.
Linglong turned back in an instant, still standing beside Yanmei. Liu Shui was secretly shocked. He didn't expect this maid to be so good. From this point of view, the princess was even more unpredictable.
Yanmei then said to Zhang Dahu: "For your sake, I didn't take his life this time. But for him, he can no longer do evil, which is not a bad thing. Take him home and discipline him well." "
Zhang Dahu naturally did not dare to say anything and said hurriedly: "Thank you very much, Princess, for your forgiveness."
Princess Yanmei turned to Liu Shui and said, "Are you satisfied with this treatment?"
Liu Shui said calmly: "How to deal with this person is not important to me. The most important thing now is to treat the injured member of the escort agency as soon as possible. Please allow the princess."
